The concentration that a conical mirror can theoretically attain is developed for two types of targets; a circular cylindrical target and a conical target. Under the assumption of a one-dimensional sun, the optimum mirror cone is determined for both types of targets. At the optimum mirror cone, the concentration, assuming a two-dimensional sun, is determined, and the optimum concentration in terms of mirror radii is found for both types of mirrors.
